Ellensburg Business <br />Development Authority <br />September 7, 2016 <br />Mark Cook, Director <br />Kittitas County Department of Public Works <br />Distressed County Sales and Use Tax Grant Program <br />411 N. Ruby St., Ste #1 <br />Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />RE: Distressed County Sales and Use Tax Grant Award — Emergency funds request <br />Mark, <br />I am writing in regards to the Distressed County Sales and Use Tax award EBDA just received <br />for roof replacement at the Prospect Street Incubator. Since we applied for this grant in June, <br />the roof replacement has become an emergency situation where numerous bays of the building <br />are leaking even during a short sprinkle. It's clear that the roof won't survive another winter <br />without severe damage to the building and, worse, to the products and equipment of the tenants <br />housed there. <br />I am respectfully requesting that this project be considered an "emergency" similar to the Roslyn <br />sidewalk repair that was also approved by the BOCC. In the alternative, we could perhaps front <br />the expense and be reimbursed when grants are dispersed in early 2017. <br />Attached is a photo of water from a minor sprinkle in July and how close it came to ruining very <br />expensive custom cabinetry just completed by one of the tenant businesses. <br />Please let me know if this request is feasible and if you need any other information <br />Thank you. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions. <br />Sincerely, <br />Jim Armstrong <br />Interim Director, EBDA <br />Enclosure <br />CC: Craig Smith, EBDA Chairman <br />PO Bos 598 -(,6,)-\ - ma -..,s', - Ellensburg WA 98926 OtTce: 509-925-2002 <br />,vwN rk [heebda.coin <br />
